Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vibration-proof apparatus capable of preventing excessive deformation of rubber used therein when loaded with a large amount of load in spite of making use of soft rubber for improving vibration-proof effect. SOLUTION: The vibration-proof bush 5 inserted through a through hole of a gear housing 3 is placed between a bolt 6 fixed in a member 7 of a body side and the gear housing 3. The vibration-proof bush 5 is provided with an inner cylinder 10 having a plurality of a circular projections 9 in the outer periphery 8 and an elastic body 11 surrounding the periphery of the inner cylinder 10 including the projection 9. When the inner cylinder 10 is off-center to the through hole 4 of the gear housing 3 by loading a large amount of load, further eccentricity of the inner cylinder 10 is prevented so that the top portion of the projection 9 comes close to the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 4.

2. Description of the Related Art In an electric power steering apparatus using a ball screw type speed reduction mechanism, relatively high frequency vibrations generated by a steering gear as a vibration source propagate into a vehicle cabin, resulting in noise for a driver. There's a problem. By the way, also in the conventional power steering device, the gear housing is elastically supported on the vehicle body using the mounting rubber. However, this type of mounting rubber has an object of preventing low-frequency vibration of approximately 100 Hz or less, which is an external input, from being transmitted to the steering wheel.
For this reason, the anti-vibration effect against high-frequency vibration generated by the reduction gear as a vibration source cannot be expected very much.

In order to enhance the anti-vibration effect against gear vibration, a soft rubber may be used as the mounting rubber.
When a high load acts on the gear housing along the axial direction of the rack shaft, the rubber is excessively deformed, which causes a response delay or the like, resulting in poor steering feeling. Conversely, when a hard rubber is used, the amount of deformation of the rubber when a high load acts is reduced and the steering feeling is improved, but the vibration isolation effect is reduced.
